Induction of lauric acid hydroxylation and maintenance of cytochrome P-450 content by clofibrate in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes. 1983

B G Lake, and T J Gray, and C R Stubberfield, and J A Beamand, and S D Gangolli

The hypolipidemic agent clofibrate at a concentration of 0.5 mM in the culture medium maintained the cytochrome P-450 content of rat hepatocytes for up to 96 hr. This effect was associated with a marked induction of lauric acid hydroxylation whereas little effect was observed on the metabolism of three other cytochrome P-450 dependent mixed function oxidase substrates. The results suggest that clofibrate induces similar form(s) of cytochrome P-450 in cell culture to those observed in vivo and that primary cultures of rat hepatocytes may be useful for studies on both the peroxisomal and microsomal effects of hypolipidemic agents.

D003577 Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System A superfamily of hundreds of closely related HEMEPROTEINS found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria. They include numerous complex monooxygenases (MIXED FUNCTION OXYGENASES). In animals, these P-450 enzymes serve two major functions: (1) biosynthesis of steroids, fatty acids, and bile acids; (2) metabolism of endogenous and a wide variety of exogenous substrates, such as toxins and drugs (BIOTRANSFORMATION). They are classified, according to their sequence similarities rather than functions, into CYP gene families (>40% homology) and subfamilies (>59% homology). For example, enzymes from the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 gene families are responsible for most drug metabolism.

D006899 Mixed Function Oxygenases Widely distributed enzymes that carry out oxidation-reduction reactions in which one atom of the oxygen molecule is incorporated into the organic substrate; the other oxygen atom is reduced and combined with hydrogen ions to form water. They are also known as monooxygenases or hydroxylases. These reactions require two substrates as reductants for each of the two oxygen atoms. There are different classes of monooxygenases depending on the type of hydrogen-providing cosubstrate (COENZYMES) required in the mixed-function oxidation.
